I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
Breaking: An Israeli airstrike just killed Adam Yahya Abu Harbid, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel, along with all members of his family, after targeting their tent in Al-Yarmouk market in Gaza City.

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
Conversely, people always say this shit about the wrong things, like comparing Gutenberg's movable type to woodblock, which is insane. Shit like paper money, mechanical clocks and cast iron though were all way ahead of their time in China.
Reading about world history is cool because the Chinese will have invented some process or device in 3000 BC and then a few pages later you get to read about it again when some guy in Europe figured the same thing out in 1871.
I’m Israeli and this is my art
Remembering Sgt. Amit Cohen, 19, a soldier in the 13th Battalion, Golani Brigade, who fell during combat in southern Gaza
La Guardia was the first, and for several years the only, high-profile American politician who attacked the Nazis. The Nazis became obsessed with him. The State Department was publicly embarrassed by him. German-American interest groups slammed his Nazi boycott as bigoted.
'Khalil' means 'friend' in Arabic 'Park', from the Old French via Frankish, meaning 'livestock pen'
Lots of guys with names like "Khalil" and "Firas" and "Zaid" and "Shadi" logging on to explain to American Protestants what Christianity is and isn't over the last couple days...
Now it gets a little crazier. Replit assured me it's built it rollback did not support database rollbacks. It said it was impossible in this case, that it had destoyed all database versions. It turns out Replit was wrong, and the rollback did work. JFC. Replit went rogue…

Blaise Pascal independently recreated most of Euclid by 12 by scratching it onto his wall with a chunk of coal. Ramanujan discovered a method to solve Quartic equations at 15.
Israel is using thermobaric (vacuum) bombs in Beit Hanoun. These are shock waves that spread in a circular and low pattern near the ground surface, preceding the appearance of the dust cloud by far, indicating a speed faster than the speed of sound. This is genocide.
It’s so funny to see this imperialist logic applied to Greece
These countries that want historical items back had no appreciation for such things until their cultures were raised to a higher level by the British.

I'd rather society spend 20% of the GDP on young parents+kids than on basically anything else. Cash in the hands of parents is the single best policy to ensure the next generation will have fewer shithead urchins who grow up to be useless criminals and bozos
Hi! I wrote the meta-analysis. This take is wrong. Taiwan's GDP per capita is ~$40k. A 4% present-value benefit yields ~1% TFR increase. TFR is 0.87, so needs to rise 141% to hit 2.1. That means benefit present value must equal 500-600% of GDP per capita. A $12-$15k,000/yr…
